After a long time, the pro-wrestling fans in Indianapolis will be treated to a premium live event in the form of WWE Fastlane 2023. As much as the news made the energetic fanbase thrilled, they would be disappointed to hear the news that the top-most champion in the company won’t be available for the show.
The latest poster for WWE Fastlane 2023 has been revealed and there was one notable absence as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns is missing from it. However, the absence doesn’t come as a full-fledged surprise as he only works in a limited schedule in the WWE. It makes sense that he might go onto a hiatus following Summerslam 2023.

Roman Reigns and Jey Uso are set to clash in the main event of Summerslam 2023 and that match will go down for the Universal Title. This marks Reigns’ first title defense after more than 100 days. Whether or not, The Tribal Chief retains his title or not, he’s not expected to appear at WWE Fastlane 2023 premium live event in the fall.
